This week will always be remembered as the week Trump was indicted by Jack Smith for his conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election result. It was a big step towards accountability that we’re all very hungry for.
There was also other good news, so let’s get into it!
Good News
Remember how the Republican led Tennessee legislature expelled Justin Jones and Justin Pearson, two young Black legislators, for protesting with young activists who wanted more gun safety laws passed? Well, they just won back their seats decisively in a special election this Thursday!
